I just wanted to reach out to everyone. I know I’ve promised to post more chapters, but I hit a rocky patch in life. In December, I had to have a surgery called first dorsal compartment release. I have hyper mobility in my wrists and fingers and due to this and my job, I had to have this issue resolved. However, the pain hasn’t stopped and the surgery didn’t help, so I’m still in pain and now have lost sensation in the back of my hand from the surgery.
Also, before Thanksgiving, my dad went to the hospital after my instruction (I used to work for a doctor’s office and noticed some red flags) and we found out he was in renal failure due to a medicine he was on. He was hospitalized for over a month before having to be put in a nursing home for rehabilitation. Sadly, after a few months, he was rushed to the hospital for many issues (severely infected bed sores *which the infection spread to his bones*, fluid in the lungs, fever, etc.). He had to be intubated and practically put into a medically induced coma so he could recover. The hospital thought he wasn’t going to survive and we had to prepare for the worst.
During his intubation, he suffered a minor stroke, but so far, it hasn’t appeared to have affected him in any way. He miraculously survived and has no memory of this time in the hospital. This trip to the hospital is suspected to be due to the nursing home’s negligence and we are looking into legal actions. He was put into a different nursing home to continue his rehabilitation and, as of yesterday, he has finally returned home. Everything is going to take time to adjust to his needs and I won’t be posting as much as I’d like, but I am here in spirit (and in my inbox and comments lol). Thank you all for your support and understanding. ❤️
